I read Circe by Madeline Miller and the Song of the Lioness series by Tamora Pierce (and I intended to explore Tortall a bit more later). While awaiting their next work, I understand that both of them are going through health problems. I follow the Youtuber darkmatter2525 and am making my way through his "Shadow of the Tyrant King" novel series; my impression of the first book is that it's compelling and unique enough and that I do recommend it. He had an episodic Youtube series called "Power Corrupts" and had intended to make it into a novel series. However, his home was in the path of Hurricane Milton, and thank goodness he's safe. He also reports having to care for a special needs son. I suppose it puts things in perspective that though these authors delivered works we've enjoyed and appreciated that leave us wanting more, their health and personal lives take priority in their eyes, and we should respect that.
Of course, there are authors like George R.R. Martin…
